SR46 is a Senate resolution establishing the special and paramount order of business for the Alabama Senate on Thursday, February 12, 2026. It sets out a specific sequence of bills to be taken up ahead of the regular calendar or any unfinished business, effectively creating a special order calendar for the twelfth legislative day.
The resolution does not change substantive law, create new programs, or amend any statutes. Instead, it is a procedural measure that governs the Senate’s floor agenda by prioritizing listed bills, including measures on campaign contributions, seagrass restoration, franchise operations on religious days, municipal taxes and fees, local official compensation, ethics reporting, playground equipment bidding, adult learner grants, educator loan assistance, athletic trainer licensure, home builder disclosures, funeral services regulation, and penalties for eluding law enforcement.
Impact
SR46 affects legislative procedure rather than state law, directing the order in which the Alabama Senate considers specified bills on a particular legislative day. It has no direct impact on regulated parties or statutory provisions, but it can influence which policy measures advance and when they are debated or voted on.
Sentiment
The resolution appears to have been noncontroversial and routine. It was adopted by a unanimous 29-0 roll call, indicating broad agreement in the Senate on the need to set a special order calendar and move the listed bills forward in an orderly fashion.
Contention
There is no recorded committee debate or floor controversy specific to SR46 itself, and the unanimous vote suggests little or no opposition to the procedural resolution. Any substantive contention would likely arise from the individual bills placed on the special order calendar, not from the resolution establishing the calendar.
